A Diabetic Meal Plan to Reverse the Symptoms

If a diabetic meal plan could reverse the symptoms of diabetes, would you be interested? Are you committed to getting rid of diabetes symptoms for good? If so, you have come to the right place.

First, let me say that recipes bore me. I will turn you over to Mrs. McDougall at the bottom of this page for some good ideas of how to eat to reverse the symptoms of diabetes. What we need to talk about here is Why conventional diabetes diets fail most people, even though they try faithfully, and How to eat so the problem of diabetes symptoms goes away.

I am assuming you would rather correct the problem and be done with it rather than putting up with the painful and depressing slow decline of your health for the rest of your life. Well, this can be done. I can tell you how to do it, but you must put it into action.

You see, the conventional medical treatment is to manage the symptoms of diabetes, but it does nothing to address the cause of those symptoms. So your doctor and dietician have most likely given you a lot of busy-work to do: monitor your blood glucose levels, limit your intake of carbs, and give yourself medications to force your body to do what it doesn't want to do.

In effect, diabetes symptoms are an alarm mechanism designed to alert you that you are not eating as you are meant to eat. There are other factors that contribute to this disorder -- lack of sleep, not enough physical activity, stress, toxins in our environment, etc. -- but medical drugs just basically "disconnect the alarm", leaving us unaware of how much damage continues to be done internally.

This diabetic meal plan is very different from the ones you see accompanying the piecemeal pharmaceutical approach recommended by most doctors. In this meal plan, the proper foods give your body what it needs to *adjust itself* back to normal metabolic functioning, i.e., Health. This meal plan also urges you to remove the foods you were previously eating that were "gumming up the works" -- that is, causing insulin resistance.

When we look for the real culprit that is causing this traffic-jam in the flow of energy and preventing blood sugar to get into the cells for fuel, we find the culprit is FAT. Since the glucose cannot be escorted into our cell by insulin, it is more direct to stop consuming so much dietary fat so our body can clean out these insulin-mediated portals so that sugar can once-again enter our cells, as needed.

Repeat after me (in the words of Dr. Neal Barnard): Carbohydrates do not cause diabetes. (If they did, a few billion rice-eating Chinese and Japanese would be fat and diabetic. They're not, so obviously carbs are not the problem.)

Insulin's rises and falls are symptoms of diabetes -- not the cause.

Likewise, high blood pressure will resolve itself once we eliminate the excessive fat clogging our arteries. Reducing the "traffic jam" of excessive sugar, caused by the inability of insulin to let the sugar into our cells, will also lower our blood pressure -- a sign that our kidneys are being overworked trying to excrete the excess sugar backed-up in our blood vessels.

Our body is wondrously complex and very well capable of taking care of managing the flow of glucose for energy, as long as we don't gum up the works with excessive levels of fats, predominantly from our unfortunate habit of eating other animals. A little bit of this we can get away with, but not at the levels we see in modern Western societies.

Conventional Vs. Alternative Paths to Ending Insulin Resistance

There are many paths to the top of the mountain. If you are in a hurry to be rid of your diabetes symptoms, then the most direct path is the vegan diet advocated by Dr. McDougall, Dr. Barnard, and others. If you are not ready to give up meat, dairy foods, eggs, and fish, then the approach advocated by Drs. Wallach and Glidden would be worth a serious look: http://youtu.be/neEsQrbDwRE

The important thing, whether you decide to move slowly or fast, is to get moving and keep moving in the direction of correcting the problem of insulin resistance. Don't give up -- and don't get side-tracked onto alternate views of Dietary Reality, such as the artery-clogging Paleo Diet.

This diabetic meal plan is designed to attack the cause of your symptoms head-on, which a consensus of scientific opinion (even beyond the vegan diet supporters) agrees is caused by too much animal fat in our diet. Simply reducing it substantially may be enough to reverse your symptoms.

And insulin resistance is primarily caused by the fact that we are eating a rich diet centered around animal fat and protein. We are not eating the lower fat diet we are set up, anatomically, to eat. It should not be a surprise that on a diet of McDonald's burgers, fries, white balloon bread, a few vegetables and a big Diet Coke, we start to look like the Pillsbury Doughboy and we get diabetes! That's not what we were made to eat.

Put the wrong fuel in the tank -- It's no wonder we get sick.

And, of course, the busy-work of trying to control your insulin levels and blood sugar levels keeps you too busy to look for a permanent solution to all this tedious busy-work.

From the point of view of the big pharmaceutical companies, the strategy of putting you to work trying to control your insulin and blood sugar, while encouraging you to continue eating a diet of the very same foods that caused your insulin resistance, is ideal.

Read this twice, very carefully: "You keep creating the problem with one hand, while you try to remedy it with the other."

And the doctor, the drug companies, and the ADA collecting donations to "find the CURE" are profiting from this. They LOVE it!

If you choose this course of action -- as most people do with the support of their doctor -- You will be like the dog chasing his tail -- you will never get what you are after.

If you are a person who wants to go on eating the same way that caused you to become diabetic, pills and injections, amputations, and heart attacks or strokes will be your lifelong companions. This diabetic meal plan is not for you.

One Final Sales Pitch for this Diabetic Meal Plan

If you study the healthiest populations -- those which have very little Type-2 diabetes -- you will find they don't eat a diet even remotely similar to the diabetic meal plans you find the WebMD and American Diabetes Association recommending.

Whole nations, such as the rural populations of China, India, and Japan, didn't develop diabetes until they began to eat more like the Western nations who are plagued with this lifestyle disease. This should put to rest the notion that these people are protected by their genetics. They aren't, just as we are not doomed by ours.

The cause of our Type-2 Diabetes, more than any other factor, is our diet.

This diabetic meal plan is designed to reverse the symptoms of Type-2 Diabetes. It is based on science. It wasn't dreamed up to sell diet books. It is FREE. It has been proven to work in reports published in major medical journals.

This diabetic meal plan is for those who would rather change a few offending parts of their diet so they can stop counting calories, stop avoiding wholesome foods they love, stop pricking their fingers and stop sticking needles in themselves needlessly (needle-lessly? Sorry, I couldn't resist a good pun). All this is unnecessary.

All your body wants is for you to start eating what you were made to eat.

Try it for six weeks and see how you feel. See what this diabetic meal plan does for your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar numbers -- Then decide if it's worth it.
